Intramedullary Free Gracilis for Dead-Space Obliteration and Stump Resurfacing in a Transfemoral Amputee With Recurrent Osteomyelitis.

Previous descriptions of intramedullary free muscle flaps for the treatment of osteomyelitis are limited in number, with its function being limited to dead-space obliteration. This report presents intramedullary free gracilis flap to be a viable option in above-knee amputees for combined dead space obliteration and stump resurfacing in the context of recurrent osteomyelitis.
